JAKARTA - United States Vice President Mike Pence promised to maintain the democratic tradition, while ensuring the security of the transition of power to Joe Biden.
This was conveyed by Pence on Thursday local time, when greeting the National Guard troops on guard on Capitol Hill, Washington DC before attending a security meeting at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"We all had that day, January 6. And as the President explained yesterday, we are committed to an orderly transition and safe inauguration. The American people deserve it, "Pence said, launching Reuters.
Pence also emphasized that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would be appointed in an atmosphere and manner consistent with the longstanding history and tradition of the United States. This includes paying tribute to the people of the United States.
Meanwhile, to the National Guard troops manning Capitol Hill, Pence thanks them for their dedication and sacrifice to keep the United States safe at such important democratic moments.
Mike Pence is known to be one of Donald Trump's most loyal associates. However, his refusal to prevent congressional certification of Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential election, led him to be accused of being a traitor.
Trump and Pence are said to have met at the Oval Office of the White House on Monday this week to improve their relationship. However, the way Trump has treated Pence has been called disappointing. Some Trump supporters have even discussed an assassination attempt on Pence.
